Top Rated EJS Alternatives
The advantages to using ejs is that it attaches with node js and it is very easy to integrate with node js and we can easy add our js logic in html tags use ejs tags. No need to add script tags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a said Ejs is a good template language but reason it is not used these days is because of new and popular libraries and frameworks of javascript. These libraries have more advantages then Ejs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's very simple to get started with. Has a decent performance too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I don't like some of the syntaxes that ejs uses. It's fine for the most part though. But I wish it was closer to JS in some cases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We can use DOM to call fetch function but after that anyone one like me when I use EJS seriously I feel amazing and easy workflow when I use HTML with JS without and linksheet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
right now nothing because I feel the amazing experience with a node with EJS Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While working with Express js I can easily communicate with the server and display data dynamically from the server to the client end. EJS is very easy to use. If you know basic HTML then you can easily write EJS. All you just need to learn how to write the syntax of the EJS. EJS caches the intermediate JS functions for fast execution which played a vital role in rapid development. This is very straightforward and great for dynamic development.

This is more difficult to read, especially for designer/HTML people who don't write JavaScript or don't have any basic idea of JavaScript. While debugging the error messages are not so helpful at all to me. Including Javascript and HTML on the same page could be a bit messy but I think it's ok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its capacity to serve as a communication way between front-end and back-end (I am currently using it on a Node.js web application as a full-stack developer, and it helps me fast communicate with back-end variables (including the translations of the application!) from front-end HTML and Javascript blocks incorporated in HTML files.
Its specific <% %> syntax provides us, developers, a great opportunity to handle back-end data from front-end and incorporate it into local variables. We pass the back-end data as parameters to the EJS View page - from the controller - and then, there we are! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
In plain Javascript (no HTML/EJS) files we cannot use the <% %> syntax to communicate with the back-end variables, like we can do in HTML-oriented code in .ejs files.
Also, the Prettier plugin for formatting source code in Visual Studio Code is not very prepared to understand specific EJS markup - but it still able to format code in EJS files - whereas the Beautify plugin even deletes the markup data between <>, thus I had to disable this plugin for my project.
Visual Studio Code is not yet fully prepared for EJS, my specific EJS code with <% %> markup is interpreted as "error code" with red signs. However, the code is compiled and works - which is good after all.
Let's hope that EJS will be more supported on VSC, with modern code formatter plugins! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ejs works well with NodeJs and you can easily collaborate with React too. It is not hard at all, just need to learn basic mechanism, which takes 30 minutes at most. Actually workin with ejs templates makes it easier then using pure html. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I would appreciate more support from code editors like sublime, or visual studio code, etc for ejs snippets, syntax support and beautify options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
EJS is easy to use. It keeps the main (all) the features of HTML and CSS, and you can also inject data into the HTML template in the backend. You can add loops, control flows two these injected data.
You can also add additional javascript scripts and libraries to the HTML template.
You can also break your HTML template to several pieces, and reuse them later. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I am not aware that automated testing for EJS.
Also, handle several js async functional can make the page really long and hard to read. I think react handles async functional calls much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We can use the JavaScript code inside HTML document which is amazing! It cuts the development time by a huge percentage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's complexity sometimes, I had a bit of difficulty in beginning, but i got used to it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
simple templating language that lets us generate HTML markup with plain JavaScript. No religiousness about how to organize things. No reinvention of iteration and control-flow. It's just plain JavaScript. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
EJS has no support for the block functionality which allows you to reuse pieces of templates across different files. Although it can be added to EJS through a third-party library. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Ejs is best to template the node application
I have used it to include repeatable parts of my application (partials) and pass data to the views. It is easy to set up as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When our program gets bigger it is difficult to maintain js logic and html code in same file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
